Firefox OS on the ZTE OpenFirefox OS on the ZTE OpenPosted Sep 6, 2013 11:08 UTC (Fri) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: Firefox OS on the ZTE Open by pabs Parent article: Firefox OS on the ZTE Open
Personally I don't want any operating system that offers an ecosystem of proprietary third-party software anywhere near any of the devices I use. For me the "success" of an operating system is defined as inversely proportional to how much non-free software it exposes me to. IOW: you don't want an OS which can be used on real hardware for real work. Got that. What are you still doing on LWN, then? Why don't you go and switch to truly free OS (like KolibriOS or something like this)? The two-decade "failure" of Linux that you describe is for me a success story. Not really. Linux is miserable failure by your measures: it's mostly used for "an ecosystem of proprietary third-party software" (on servers, nettop boxes and other similar devices, not on desktop). You can claim that only desktop Linux is a success, but this will be inconsistent since all these "successful" desktop efforts are funded by it's "failure" on servers, routers and [recently] mobile phones.
